Mary will you take my hand

Well give my regards to your father
and tell him he's a stubborn old man
And give all my love to Mary
Mary will you take my hand

Give my best to your mother,
she's the only one who understands
And give all my love to Mary
Mary will you take my hand

With a smile
as bright as the sun,
she makes you feel
good when the day's begun

She makes you feel good
when the day is done,
Mary will you take my hand
Mary will you take my hand

Well I went into the city
and I bought a white bouquet
And I gaveit to my lovin' Mary
gonna wear it on our wedding day

Well we'll build a
little cottage and
we'll have a child or two

Just me and my lovin'
Mary laughing the whole day through

With a smile as bright
as the sun,
she makes you feel
good when the day's begun

She makes you feel
good when the day is done

Mary will you take my hand
Mary will you take my hand

Well your father
doesn't like me
but your mother
thinks I'm kind of nice

And if my Mary loves me
then everything will be all right

So tell your older sister
that she's gonna be my bride
And love me forever only
for the rest of her life

With a smile
as bright as the sun,
she makes you
feel good when the day's begun

She makes you feel
good when the day is done

Mary will you take my hand
Mary will you take my hand
